    Great info. Rhanks Assuming I buy this boat, I will need to do something like that or just install a new frige that is dual voltage like the boat I just sold. I had put in a Vitrifrigo and it was fantastic. Switched automatically from 110 to 12v but defaulted to 110 so if shore power or...

    The 1996 420 AC I am looking to buy has a refrigerator on one side of the galley and a freezer of equal size on the opposite side of the galley. Do they run on both 12 And 110 volt or just 110?

    420AC Thread

    I am negotiating for a 1996 420 AC as we speak. They did replace the ice maker with a Raritan. It looks really good. All Stainless steel and I think they said it was the only one that was a perfect fit. They look like they run about $1200.00

    420AC Thread

    We went out on the 1996 420 AC that we are looking to buy in the next week or so. The current owner runs the twin 7.4 Mercs at 2500 rpm. The ride at that speed is less than great. I would most likely run at 3000 which on that boat you are doing about 15 MPH. At that speed it doesn"t seem to...

    420AC Thread

    I notice that there is no trap like a sink at home. You have a direct line to the side of the hull. My current boat (1981 Searay 310 Vanguard that is for sale so I can buy a 420 AC) has that set up too. They didnt use grey water sumps in those days. A direct overboard drain allows bugs etc to...

    420 Aft cabin underpowered?

    I am looking at buying a 1996 420 Aft Cabin. The boat is powered by the base 7.4 merc engines which I believe are 340Hp each. The engines from service records have been well mainitained and have 635 hours. I boat on Lake Lanier, Ga. My question is: are those engines enough power for that...

    Repowering a 1996 420 AC

    Hi I am looking to possibly buy a 1996 420 AC. If the engines had to come out, is that possible without doing surgery to the salon floor? Is the cored hull something to worry about. I am kind of thinking if there has been no problem to this point that there probably wont be .

    Searay quality in years

    Thank you. That is the type of info I was looking for and actually the range in years I have been looking at mainly based on my price range. I am also looking at similar boats from Carver. Any opinion on them?

    Searay quality in years

    I have a friend that worked at the Merritt Island factory soon after they got bought and he said the first thing they did was to use lower quality materials and that QC became non existent. You are probably right about the cored hulls. If it is good after all these years it will probably...

    Searay quality in years

    I know that Brunswick bought SR in 1986. Within a couple of years quality didnt exist (unsealed limber holes etc). When did Searay quality improve? I am looking at moving from a 1981 310 Vanguard that was built like a tank and even today still maintains very high quality to something bigger...
